Singing Willow

Swallow yesterday at Coopies Lane, Morpeth and so I expected a few new arrivals today, I wasn't disappointed.

Small Tortoisehell at Chev brightened the day. Plenty of Harrier action from three different birds. Wheatears and Sand Martins at several sites.

At Cresswell SH picked out a Little Ringed Plover, nice and close, and the Colour-ringed Avocet (Lime over Black Left Double Black Right). A pair of Pintail and and then SH picked out the Willow Warbler song from the bush in the car park.

A visit inland (well a couple of miles) and 11 PF Geese and a Fieldfare at Maiden's Hall followed by 8 Avocet and a Little Owl further South.
